Poll: Rep range for best results.

[l2ambo]

What rep range do you like, and why?

[400Lb Gorilla]

Strength Range- 2-5

Mass Range- 8-20

[poloralphloren]

8-12 for size, but 4-7 for the strength that makes much more size possible.

[Ion26]

I like 8-12

[Orlando1234977]

Depends on your goal.

For 1RM strength; 1-5 reps

For 10RM strength; 8-12 reps

For 20RM strength; 15-25 reps

For size, work on your 10RM strength, using majority 8-12 reps

For Powerlifting, work on your 1RM strength, using majority 1-6 reps

[cbeauch]

8-12

[thiba17]

6-8 and 8-12, mixture of both really

[DJAuto]

I like to stick to a 6-20 range. If I had to narrow this down, it would be 6-10.

Similar to me...I like having a variety in my workout, so I tend to have movements that go as low as 5 reps and some that go as high as 12...When I feel like concentrating on strength, I'll favor lower rep exercises, but still have at least 1 movement with 8-10 reps.

[shaneee]

6-10

never tried for strength at all and always going pretty high volume going for mass but i can progress pretty good on this..still get to go heavy at 6 reps

[robbondo]

Wow... Only two people of the whole population lift to failure? Pussies...

I make it so that I fail in the 8-12 rep range, I thought that is what the quetion was asking. Ma bad.

this covers all rep range questions.

Failure is not a rep range. You can reach failure on the 3rd or 20th rep depends on the weight, but either way you have reached failure. Unless you mean some sort of drop set where reps ain't counted, just keep going down in weight til you can't lift anymore.

Well tell that to the creator of the poll...

[Aryz]

8-12

[-Lucifer]

For me:

Strength: sets of 3
Mass: sets of 8-10

[matjusm]

What rep range do you like, and why?

For the clean and jerk I mostly work with singles, with rear delt raises I go up to 10.

All depends on the exercise and goal.

Training to failure isn't always the best idea and doesn't make one a pussy if they don't train to failure.

Have fun training to failure on every set. I'm sure your CNS will love you for that.

[benzel]

Failure also isn't the optimal method for muscle growth which was the initial question. Don't jump to conclusions.
